MORE, a'citiz'eri'of' the UnitedI States, residing atGreensboro, in the county of Guilford and.' StateofNorth Carolina, have invented cera. tain Vnew and useful ,Improvements iin lnlistands;` and ljdoldecliare the following to be a 4 lfull, clear, and exact descri tion of'the inven-4 "tion,` `such as "will enable ot ers skilled in the art to which itappertainsto 4make and use the same. Y

. Thisv invention relatesto barometer stands,`and has for' its object to rovide an ink stand oi4 this kind-which e economical and eiiicient inoperation,which may be easily and cheaply manufactured, and which will present a sightly a pearance.

For this and other o jects my invention consists 'of certain novel combinations of partsof which the herein described ink stand 1s an embodiment.

While hereinl have mentioned minute de- :tails l do not limit myself to these as the same may begreatly varied Without departinU from the spirit of the invention.

tional view showing a slightly modied construction. u

As shown my improved ink stand comprises 'a glass body portion 1,-provided with a ase 2 and a reduced threaded open end 3, on

which is screwed a cap 4. The cap 4 is of the samev eneral shape as the body portion 1 pearing ink stand',V as shown. The body portion 1 is provided on the'inside with the tapering reservoir 5, in the mouth of which is closely fitting a glass cup or stopper 6 contacting parts being ground to form a water tight seal or a rubber washer may be placed between the contacting parts. The cup-(v is provided with outstandingilanges 7 and the plate like body portion 8. Said body portion torming a t1partition which divides the ink stand into e reservoir 5 and a pen receiving space 9. f The cap 4 is provided with an open- .UNITED Herrera@- f u. specimen@ or Letters Patent; i gfaigpiicsuon meri January 2s, isos.

Said shutter is beveled inwardly, as shown at 12, and Awhen in closed position pressed against the op ositelyl disposed bevel 13.

lof theshutter 11 is inwardly rounded as at i ing 10 'is provided a rounded bearing seatll',

(see Fig. 5), the` saine being curved inwardly to hold the arms -15 against inward move? ment. .The upper edge 17 of the opening 10 iscurved to corres ond with thecurved lip-1 against outward movement7 the'shutter be'.- ing inserted through the seat lwhen the ca i4 1s removed frormthe body portion 1, an

cannot be removed when the' cap 4 is screwed in place as the spa'ce '9 does not ermit 'of sulhe portion 8 per edge 14. The evel 13 is rojected out.- 11

Wardly thereby holdingvthe 'ody portionl l of the cup is provided near its lower side with an opening 18 connecting the reservoir .5 with the s ace 9.

The outsi e face of theliange 7 may be rprovided with oppositely disposed tongues 19 adapted to be receivedby correspondingly shaped grooves 2() in thev body portion 1. The object of this tongue groove connection is to holdthe cup or stop erv 6 against rotaable, these tongues and grooves may be omit ted to o'wever if prefersie ermit the cup 6 to be rotated in its seat w ereby the 'height of 'the opening 18 may be adjusted to re ulatethe amount ofV ink in the space 9. lf esired a packingring or the like 21 may be provided at the outer edge of the reservoir 5, to make a' tight joint between the body portion 1 and the inner 'part ofthe cap 4.

The operation of my deviceis as follows:

The body portion 1 is stood up upon the end 22, and inlr poured to fill it about even-with the mark 23,V the cu' 6 is then put in place and the cap 4 screwe on, the shutter 1 1 having been previously inserted in lace. vThe stand is then turned down u on t e base, and

the ink rises to the level s own at 24. As theshutter opens-inwardly the pen may be forced against the outside side el said shutter and' into the ink in the space 9.

The body ortion 1 may be made of glass.

or any suitab e material, while the cap v4 may bevmade of hard rubber, orsome similar material such as kornit or lass. l

Having thus describe my invention what Icl'aim is:
